Time Passes By Lyrics

Dreams drift away like leaves on the water
They roll down the river and slip out of sight
Too many times we do what we ought to
Put off till tomorrow what we'd really rather do tonight
And later realize
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e102413-_kathy_mattea~time_passes_by_lyrics.html ]
Time passes by people pass on
At the drop of a tear they're gone
Let's do what we dare do what we like
And love while we're here before time passes by

Thoughts are like pennies we keep in out pockets
They're never worth nothing till we give them away
Love's like a promise in an unopened letter
Where nights full of pleasure seldom see the light of day
When life gets in the way

Time passes by people pass on...
Time passes by people pass on...
